[ROM][CM9][ICS][4.0.4] Cyanogenmod 9, Android ICS 4.0.4

[_Arjen_]

Cyanogenmod 9, Android ICS 4.0.4, CAF Kernel

Officially this started as a port for the Optimus One (P500).
Now we started to port it to all LG msm7x27-based phones.
I started to port to the LG Thrive and LG Phoenix.
Sourcecode for the LG Phoenix is already up un our Github
Sourcecode for the Thrive is still a WIP.
As soon as possible I will release weekly builds for both phones.

What works (on P500, possibly also on Thrive and Phoenix):
- Functional camera (preview, taking photo, recording video, no panorama)
- Full H/W acceleration with new adreno drivers, 3D (yamato)
- Funny SIM (128k USIMs)
- Calls, SMS, MMS, 3G/2G, Mobile data
- Wireless, Bluetooth, Bluetooth tethering
- Data limit, IPv4, IPv6
- Stereo audio, headset
- GPS, Sensors, Lights, Touch screen
- Usb Mass storage, Usb debugging
- Browser, GMail, GPlay

What doesn't work:
- Wifi tethering, Offline charging: needs usb driver update from 3.0 kernel
- FM Radio: not implemented in CM yet
- Youtube HQ: needs OpenMaX(omx) libraries for armv6
- Bluetooth headset

Workaround for wifi tethering (app: "Wireless tether")
Workaround for FM radio (app: "Spirit")

Thanks:
Pasquale Lodise (lupohirp) for initial setup
Adam Farden (adfad666) for tests
HepHappy for his additional work.
Code Aurora Forum for kernel
Cyanogenmod team and Android for ICS
Hcweb for offering bandwidth

CHANGELOG

We are still working on an automated changelog,
all releases are based on what's available at time of build on github.com/CyanogenMod and github.com/lgics

For the meantime you can use this for the cm9-side
Our own will add the changes from our side too.

Just tried on my thrive and color issues and stuck on boot animation. I'm pretty sure hes still working on the kernel for our phones but hes saying that's the version that will be compatible with it. Or I could be wrong.

Just for the heck of it I flashed the .35 kernel and fixed color issue but still stuck at boot animation. XD worth a shot. I will now wait patiently.

There are no tangible words in any language to express my excitement. I have no idea how I'm gonna sit through first lecture tomorrow.
